guys with meaty tires and big power, 17x8 vs 18x9.5?

Oh totally, I was just pointing out that if he's looking for a tire with maximum grip while driving down the highway (roll race without a burnout first, etc), then an r compound is probably going to be a let down.

I'm not saying a 200tw EHP tire will suck when it doesn't have heat in it, but you can definitely feel the grip improve as they warm up. R comps will be even worse.

Ok i will have to look into it. I have never been good with tires, this is the fastest cars I've owned right now so I've never really cared much or needed this level of grip.

EDIT: How do the hoosier stack up when not heated up? I need something that will perform well without really heating them up.

Hey I was looking at your thread and saw you had a Turbo FA20 pushing around 500 WHP I’ll be lower than that at around 400 but I wanted decent advice for a street setup. Hopefully you found something that works well. As of right now I’m looking at R888Rs on a 18x9.5 hopefully with lower control arms and coils I can get close to 0 camber as of right now I have -3.
